Abstract
Tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) electrosorption behaviour at the mercury electrode in 3 M NaClO4 has been examined. Using a new concept of adsorption isotherm, new theoretical expressions have been proposed. The application of these equations shows evident influence of the electrode charge on the TMTU adsorption. It can be concluded that TMTU molecules are largely specifically bonded and at zero electrode charge the change of adsorbed TMTU molecules orientation is observed.
